I was there as well. Definitely over 1,000. Maybe as many as 1,500.

My favorite records set and specialty is historical directories; city, county, rural, farmers' etc. Such great information gathered annually or biennially. They fill many census gaps and are available in many countries.

Wherever you are in your genealogy journey--a hobbyist, a professional, or somewhere in between--what is your area of expertise? Your superpower? Your passion? In other words, what could you confidently teach a beginner?

Think skills, records sets, specialties, knowledge. My response in comments.

β€œTerrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

are the raids at Mar A Lago? Do not even pretend that there are no undocumented persons working there. Trump golf courses? All Trump hotels!

Media has not asked this question. Complicit again.

Please help me get answers. Repost in large numbers.

The irony of Lunar Year 2025 being the Year of the Snake is not lost on me. Anyone else?
